THAT WHISTLE STOPPED HIM.
A funny incident occurred while Ohio'6
governor was making speech, ona
evening not long ago. When President
Cleveland ordered the rebel battle-fags to
be given up, Governor Foraker, in the
name Of Ohio, was the first to protest,
and the upshot of the matter was that
Cleveland countermanded his ill-advised
order. Some democratic papers asserted
that the governor, while hot under the
collar, had referred to His Buffalonian
Nibs as "a deg" This Foraker denied,
and in the speech referred to had just re-
peated the denial when an old soldier in
the crowd shouted "Well, dog or no
dog, he stopped when you whistlcd."

The Bismarck Tribune's recent edito-

newspaper, and one as prominent as the
Tribune is in the Northwest, should als
ways be strong editsrially. The Tribune
editorials are chock full of common sense
and the dictlon plain yet vigorous. The
Lord loves writer who can make his
meaning clear by the use of simple Ian
guage, and who does not astonish the
reader by an uncommon word Of six or
seven syllables in every other line.

Diphtheria From Cats.

Cows are susceptible to infection
with human scarlet fever, and, in turn,
the same disease, which in the COW ID
very mid, may be and has been cofiis
municated to human beings by means
of milk. Epidemics of human scarlet
fever have been caused in this way,
and we are told that in thirty years
543 900 deaths were caused by this dis
ease in tile United Kingdom, q large
portion of them no doubt by infection
from milk,
Ii il nov established by the expeI,-
ments of DR.. George Turner of Lon
don. that diphtheria can be had by
cattle and communicated by them.
Five years aao there was brought to
him pigeon which was supposed to
have died of strangles, but dissection
revealed III its windpipe a well marked
membrane, Just as. one may see in the
thfuat Of child who has died of croup.
Other pigeons inoculated with this
membrane had this disease. Three
years later in several epidemics of
diphtheria, it was learned that the
chickens, turkeys and pheasants wete
suifefing from disease apparently
identical with that hich was killing
human beings. II have also seen"
says DR.. Turner, chickens and pig
cons which had been inoculated with
diphtheritic membrane from a child's
throat attacked by disease which in
all respects resembled what I regard
as natural fowl diphtheria.
In investigating an epidemic of
diphtheria in 1856, DR.. Turner learned
that in cottage where the first case
occurred a kitten had previously suf-
fered from throat disease and had
died Of it. Two eats had died in viii
1age store and the proprietor after
ward had diphtheria. The evidence is
ample, also, that horses have diph-
iberia.
There is no doubt that diphtheria,
rs well as scarletina is communicated
from man to animals and from ami
mails to men. Mankind is exposed to
great danger by reason of the ailments
of domestic animals. The pet eat or
t, fayorite dog or horse may be the
means of bringing disease and perhaps
death into the house. 1t behQoves
parents to see that their children are
not allowed to play with or be near
any domestic animal that has any
throat trouble or any appearance of
disease Good Housekeeping.

Witchcraft III Southern indiana.

a.
About sixty years ago many Of the
people residing III the neighburheod
OF East Enterprise were possessed Of
u tlelusion that witches were reality,
and that n number of the neighbors
Were full-hedged witches, possessed Of
remarkable powers, even to the
sadaling and bridiiag man and with
sharp spurs ride him all night over.
the worst roads a distorted mind could
Imagine. In the morning the poor
man would be so tired and sore tliat
he could hardly move. At ether times
the housewife would churn half a day
and would not got a particle of butter.
The only remedy was to take an old
horseshoe that had been worn on the
ltft hind foot Of d bald-faced horse
and heat it red hot and drop IL into
the ehurn, which was pretty certain to
expel the terrible Mitch. One who
tried the experiment said when /
dropped tie redhot shoe into the churn
| heard something run off the roof
of the house, and smelt hair Just as
sure as you are born, and In five
minutes | had churn nearly full of
butter. The next day / saw the woman
that / believed had bewitched the
butter, and her hair was crisp on one
side in the very shape Of horseshoe
1.-THE above remedy failed, the next
thing to do was to draw a lifesized
picture Of the supposed witch and nail
it upon tree and then run silver
bullet out of silver dollar and shoot
the image. This last act was con-
sidered q complete cure. One of the
ardent believers in witches, n man in
the prime of life, possessed fam sense
III other matters. told in our hearing
what a trying ordeal he had passed
through few evenings before. He
had been to visit the sick, anu was re-
turning about 10 o'clock through the
fields, often climbing fences. Finally
as he got up on high ten-rail fence,
with one leg thrown over the top rail,
he saw standing on the other side one
whom he knew to be ''witch.n
She said nothing, but put spell on
him that riveted. him to the spot,
and he was as speeches. as Lots wife
when she was turned into salt. When
daylight came the witch vanished, and
he got over the fence and went home.
He says the top rail was o sharp one,
and he didn't get over the soreness for
month.
Whom the hens failed to hatch their
eggs it was all laid to theWitcaes. The
witches always did ter worst work
on Friday. If the rail fences fell down
when they were covered with sleet and
ice, the witches were blamed with it.
